Anthem The Game

[Fred_Vie]

btw... you cant skip vids in group quests by holding esc... I`m just stuck in one, holding esc does nothing I´m afraid :/

I love the agility with jumps and flight but hate the loading screens and lack of quests. Repeating quests within one day is just pityful.

There was actually an issue with adding chat in games, something about a law that was implemented and got us screwed over.

Bah... they are just inventing all those laws to distract us from the important things they f... us over with. US laws dont even apply here. The world has gone insane and people keep sitting infront of theyr TV's getting fat... sad rly.

Not sure about that tho, my game loads fast, not as fast as Monster Hunter World but I don't have a problem with it.

Wth... the last game with loading screens I played decades ago! I´m used to open world! If you are loading fast then I must wonder what is fast to you? I doubt that my system with 3 ssd's, an rtx2080 and an i7-9700k is slower than even just 5 % of the players systems I can go make tea or coffee while its loading those levels that barely take longer than the loading time... quickplay quests anyways.

But I will stick with it as I love flying around and discovering things, blowing things up, however it is very repetitive as this is the game that piqued my interest for the love of mechs and big explosions.

I love the flying too! It feels so agile but running out of quests after 16 hours and then repeating like 5 different quests all the time is going to get old very fast. I´m just happy I didnt buy it for 50 bucks. Not to mention all the empty quest areas I joined lately! Like 1 in 3 games where empty, noone to fight, destert places just that there are actually plants. Ok it just has been released but a game for 50 bucks who's quests dont even last for a day before starting to repeart themselfs is a major letdown (I´d say "joke")! If I had bought it I would want my money back. I remember times where I played years for a game that cost 30 bucks. 50 a day is wayyyy too steep.

If the EA forum wouldnt be so sucky slow I´d complain there but every klick is a pain in there.

^ Well then time to move to a different game then. Come back after a few months if you still want to.

 

[Solaris17]

can you -co-op campaign?

 

[psyko12]

can you -co-op campaign?

Yes sir you can.

IMHO much better if you get buddies to do it with you. Most of the randoms just go to point A and B and yet there are lotsa things to explore in the missions themselves.

Buuuut there are still other players who will explore and wait for everybody before moving forward. I've met a few and have added them since friday and we get together if they are online.

Which is now in there was right in that “forced” settings menu on first time you started.

 

[GreiverBlade]

started right now ... so far good vibes ... i need to test with controller ...

so far so good ... music graphic acting good ... alright it's a Bioware, i understand fully most of the positive comment here...
2560x1440/60 custom (high settings/no AA ) 60/55 (high/low) not too shabby



i get it people don't like EA but i absolutely can't handle the doomsayer that mention that Bioware is dead in the water and Anthem is sh!t , because neither of it is true (Bioware dead ... mmhh maybe but still ... it's a Bioware game)
microtransaction? who care ... are they obligatory to play do they give an edge over others? nope ... (truthfully i only saw in game currency on the launcher but nothing exceptional )
EA usual behavior? does it affect how i play the game or how i enjoy it? nope, not really...
"supporting EA is evil" mmhhhh ...

"the game doesn't look like the demo", well the finished product "sure look like sh!t" indeed... actually, don't complain ... your rig would probably not handle it ...

as i mentioned i get it you hate EA but don't use weak argument




this is my 1st and 2nd EA Origin account :


yeah i know ... 2 account (well i forgot once that i had one account ... not the first time ... i have 2 STEAM 2 WoWs and probably 2 Uplay account )

oh as for loading time ... i have it on a 7k2 HDD ... not that long ... (well i moved the library just after on a 240gb SSD ... not much difference )


in short ... you hate it (and make the point of using "imho" and not taking everyone opinion to be conformed to yours otherwise they are worthless) or you love it and enjoy it

edit: Owen is hilarious ...

Kinda related to Anthem, does anyone else have horrible scaling issues on a 4k display when origin is running, it's so hard read anything, and there's no option to scale text in the app.

BTW, really digging the combo system, too bad the game doesn't go into any detail on how to do combos, because it's so much fun to watch your enemies lose their health exponentially faster when a combo is done right.

 

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

In the 3 patches since the early access PC launch on the 15th loading times have improve immensely. I now load any zone or mission in less than 45s. Any loading of an area durring a mission will take less than 7s. Im running the game from my fasted SSD.

I'm really hoping they can improve performance optimization. The game looks great but really when compared to Battlefront II or BFV or even Destiny 2 the visuals just dont come close to justifying their lack of performance. When Crysis first came out it ran like shit but it looked far and away better than anything that came before it. Anthem just does not have that claim here. Ironically it became obvious that Crysis wasnt optimised for shit but since the hardware didnt really exist to prove it we just let it go and having full in game console activated as well as full control over the ini files made up for that.

Unfortunately Anethem just runs like shit on what is the most used and optimized engine EA has ever provided to it's dev studios.

For anyone who's interested you can manually input the commands for resolutoin scaling in the user's profile settings file.

go here Documents\BioWare\Anthem\settings and open profileoptions_profile
add these two lines:
GstRender.ResolutionScale 1.35
GstRender.ResolutionScaleMode 1.35

1.35 = 135% for any in game Frostbite game that supports it.

I run the game on my native resolution 1080p and have the scaling values set to 1.35%, it makes thing much tighter onscreen.

i would like to help but i play at 2.5 and 3k and there is no scaling issues at those res

also since it seems that everyones... and their dogs ... play Storm Javelin ... i decided to play .... COLOSSUS! (i should have taken Ranger ... jack of all trade master of none ... )


(still did not find screenshot function ... ) well i love my paint job and decals (N7 what else ... what? waste of credits? naaaahhh )

i think he was talking about origin launcher scaling.

i think he was talking about origin launcher scaling.

I figured as much but I wanted to mention that for anyone else who was interested.

 

[GreiverBlade]

well second day delving in it ... kinda like it ... a lot ...

connection issues aren't too much annoying, gameplay with a Xbox one Recon Tech pad is fun and dynamic, most NPC feel alive not static at all (Yarrow cracks me up with his Russian accent )

and for once ... not a all Storm team ... (i think i did quite well given the other Colossus was lv16)


i have a better feeling than playing Destiny 2 ... (i love both of them tho )

lvl 8 time for some more mass effect vibe with my new shiny Interceptor (N7 edition)

No problems with text here on my 4k screen.

I picked this game up Friday night, refunded it Saturday afternoon. Pretty good looking game, gunplay is fun and suits are sweet but I can see this game doesn't have much on offer as of now. Maybe I'll come back at a later time but as of now this is not for me.

looks decent if you can get it to work. the game would only start if I went to program files otherwise i'd get a black screen and the pc would crash...

well i have no issues of any sorte save for some disconnection (not many, thus not too annoying) and it looks more than decent (custom setting some on High some on Ultra just no AA because it's not noticeable at 2.5/3K resolution )

ah, yes ... a minimaliste issue ... sometime instead of seeing 60-62fps on the fps counter i see a steady 30fps but the game still feel the same (no stutter or not feeling like a usual 30fps ) i'm wondering if it's a false reading ...


time to call it a day (lvl 13 some blue gears and weapons 129 power score ) freeplay was fun most co-op i did went well ... kinda feel at home using the Interceptor (when someone bring a Colossus ... and has the "taunt" support system ... otherwise i have a bit of a hard time ) noticed some nice physics: depending how you run (boosted sprint or not) some flora and other stuff react differently, i.e.: skeleton or tree branches on the grounds get tossed aside when you boost while normal run you walk over them (pod-like flora pop when boosting thru ) kinda trivial but very nice details

in the end i don't get the bad reviews and critic over it ... no loot box, microtransaction yes ... but only cosmetics can be bought and they can also be bought with normal ingames coins, the game looks gorgeous and the gameplay is fun, it's not like the demo (i guess we should "thanks console" for that.) ... ofc but these things can happen and the final product is still nice.
it's not a mmo but rather a 4P co-op game (freeplay is also limited to 4P) which in the end is kinda nice ...

my etailer sold it for 39chf instead of 69chf for the 10 first order but even at full price i would be satisfied

edit: and god, the work on the npc to give them life and personality (for those you interact with) is nicely done ... some of them are hilarious and i enjoy walking in fort Tarsis and talking to them (plus seeking every little piece of collectible that add entries to the codex )

I too like the colossus

 

[purecain]

I just played for around 3hrs and loved it.... really enjoying the game tbh… even with its startup bug and lack of variety. as an iron man simulator it gets a 9/10 from me.

I had a lot of fun playing tonight...

 

[GreiverBlade]

Owen is almost as funny as Jarvis ... also ... Colossus : Hulk Buster, true Iron Man standard : Ranger ... Storm more akin to ... "Storm" ... (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_(Marvel_Comics))

And the last one... is becoming my favorite ... i do most of my play without using a single ammunition (only melee, Assault system and Strike system), did a stronghold (god even at normal difficulty it's quite challenging and fun) and a few quickplay (which is also fun since it make you help other on mission you already did and, i had some favorite mission i wanted to redo ) :


lvl 18, 214 power score .... and each time someone in the game say "Freelancer" i keep hearing either "Pathfinder" or "Shepard"

edit: funny lvl 18 and i unlocked the Storm ... i though i would unlock the Ranger but ... got an afterthought.

 

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

Unfortunately I started with the Interceptor anc now I simply cant not Interceptor.

The other jav just dont appeal to me at all now.

well i can handle all of them but the Interceptor has something special ... i guess it's the "agility tanking" ... the gameplay in it is just too fast ... (using Spark Dash and Detonating Strike is particularly devastating )

I guess I was the same with Destiny. I only ever played the warlock. I tend to find a class I like and stick to it.
You're right though, the speed and agility is what makes the Interceptor so much fun..

I have a few different Interceptor builds that I use. They all revolve around a Devsitator and the masterwork shotgun papa pump.

 

[purecain]

im going mad, it wont stop crashing every 5mins, same as yesturday...

weird ...

on my side, i think i am not doing too badly ... finished the main line :

and got a masterwork MP that suits my playstyle in the Interceptor
